Just downloaded @Beale's South West Launch site in the newest version of Kerbal Konstructs. The launch site is in the middle of the sea, and off to the west of where I believe it should be. What do I need to do to move it back onto land?

For now the only way to get proper rescaling of buildings is to use resizeBuildings set to the same value as Resize

Wait a few more hours and I have a new test- version online, The next release will make it pretty easy to move objects around. (the current beta has a small bug, so edited models show up 40% smaller, then they should).

Is 0.001 degree precise enough?. There is some minor interlock between roll and pitch, but in the error is smaller than the set value. A self correcting loop could be considered for an other Release, but for the moment I want to fix the other issues first and make a official release.

i think opening up the editor broke in 1.2.2. all the statics show up, but i cant open the editor with ctrl+k.. It may be user error but i tried everything even a recompile of the source so i'm out of ideas lol

no errors in the output log

I didn't test the editor in 1.2.2, even when its compiled against 1.2.2 it runs fine in older versions (my dev install is 1.2.1, but I link against 1.2.2) I only looked in the 1.2.2 version if the statics are there, --> looked good --> alt+F4 --> back to visual studio

But from the first look in the code... opening the editor should only worked once in a while. the key pressed check runs in FixedUpdatebut It should really run in Update, because GetKeyDown is reset each frame (according to unity docs)

the key pressed event is checked in LateUpdate(). I have no idea if it is still allowed in 1.2.2 or if I have to move it to Update(). I'll test it again and release a fixed version as soon as possible.

Hi, are you using any other statics apart from the Kerbinside/KK ones, the editor opening failure can be caused by static models that are made or divided badly, and as you mention usually does not leave an associated error in the log. If you have added anything new it may be worth removing the instances part of the statics cfg to see if the editor re appears

In fact, KAS/KIS has its debug window on that hotkey, either right or left Ctrl+k, but I tried to reassign the KK hotkey to another sequence and nothing happened. KerbinSide bases do not show up either. I'm sorry for being not helpful, I have a day-off tomorrow and really plan to pinpoint the issue.

I was using KSC++ but I removed it while trying to troubleshoot and still had the issue.

I forgot to mention I was using the latest Beta release of KK. I doubt that's the issue though.

it's KAS and it doesn't matter if it's installed. When the bases are not loaded, KK crashed on startup (mostly because of some broken .cfg files)

Have you tried to completly remove and install KK?

@whale_2 & @Galileo could you please use the latest beta from gitub and upload the Kerbal Space Program\KSP_x64_Data\output_log.txt file somewhere (open a github issue)

It is a build with DEBUG enabled, normally I should be able to see something in it.

@Ger_space I installed KK onto a RSS save to create my own bases but the Ctrl+ K button to bring up the editor does not work. Any solution to this or if Kopernicus is conflicting with KK?

Currently it is a known problem with RSS and KK. (or Kopernicus) I'm sorry about that.

I'll have a look at it next week (on weekends my time for coding is very limited)

I have no idea why there is such a issue, because I know no direct places where a direct reference to Kerbin is made. Maybe Kobernicus doesn't set the "isHome" flag for any planet. but that's my best guess for now.

I'm wondering if these issues are a recurrence or the problem from not so long ago, in which KK would not work if added to an existing save, at the time it appeared that KK could not properly create and find the cfg's it writes to the game save file, symptoms included KK launch selector and KK editor not being functional but all previously placed statics were present.

The workaround at the time was to uninstall everything except squad and KK from the gamedata folder, then start the game and create a new save, load up that save to check for functionality, then exit, re add all the mods to gamedata and load up your new save, and usually all was well. obviously this is no good for players with existing games in which they wanted to add KK but it was usable.

Another possible workaround is to create another install and use that to position statics etc then copy the cfg's to your existing game. This is the method i use mostly, as it means i don't feel compelled to finish every new base project in one sitting, as anyone who's spent time making bases and placing statics will tell you, placing statics is not hard but it is very time consuming

For reference i should state that Mondays beta KK is working extremely well for me even without a recompile for 1.2.2, launch selector, static editor and base boss etc are all fully functional

Thanks, @Ger_space, for this release. I've moved all (or almost all) my statics under NewInstances folder, inspired by @SpannerMonkey(smce) workaround and can confirm that editor window works now and KerbinSide bases can be seen on map.

So if I mess something up I would have to delete the mod and re-install it?

Hopefully I can fix the Kosmodrome mod too.

NO what he means is that any changes you make are saved to the models cfg, so if you mess it up , you simply delete the instances part of the cfg.

Re SW launch site, it is where it is supposed to be, right out in the middle of nowhere, I suggest that instead of moving that original spawn a new one in your chosen location and when you are happy with the position use the KK editor again to delete the original version , this will delete the positions instance in the cfg,

and where do you want it to be btw?

In my game, the SW launch site is showing up in the middle of the ocean. Not on the island it's intended to be on.

AH thats just a rumor it was always meant to be in the deep as is indicated by the description

LaunchSiteDescription = Built far out to sea, SWLS is ideal for launching 'less engineered' rockets.

and is why the model is a self contained island, although i can see why you'd want it elsewhere, at least a little closer to land. I can move it and post the cfg for you to paste in if you want, just tell me where.
